When the Schema folder has been deleted from the WSUS installation directory you cannot publish updates with Easy2Patch to WSUS environment and WSUS cannot process any updates.
WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) is a Microsoft tool for managing the distribution of updates released through Microsoft Update to computers in a corporate environment. To keep the WSUS running smoothly and to optimize its performance, regular maintenance tasks must be performed. When Easy2Patch is used with WSUS and/or SCCM, these maintenance operations are also important for the health of 3rd party update processes with Easy2Patch.
In an IT environment, keeping third-party software up-to-date is critical to maintaining security and ensuring optimum performance. Here are some effective ways to stay up to date:
Automatic Patch Management: Use patch management software like Easy2Patch to automate the third-party software update process. This software can scan for vulnerabilities, download patches and deploy them to your IT environment. It simplifies the task and provides timely updates.
In this article, where we explain how to give the necessary permissions for the Intune Update and Application Deployment features that come with Easy2Patch 3.0 and the Critical Update Management with Defender features that come with Easy2Patch 3.1, you need to have the appropriate permissions because we will be running AppRegistrations on the Azure Portal.
Security has been a major concern since the dawn of the information age. Especially nowadays, there are a lot of data breaches from relatively large companies. And a significant number of breaches are caused by software vulnerabilities rather than protocol vulnerabilities. In this article, I will talk about the importance of using up-to-date software and adding special products to the catalog.
The rise of ransomware attacks has emerged as a major threat to cybersecurity in recent years. Ransomware is essentially a type of malware that blocks access to a computer system or individual files until a ransom is paid. Typically, the attackers demand payment in the form of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, which is difficult to trace. These attacks are often initiated through phishing emails or other social engineering techniques that trick users into clicking on a malicious link or downloading an infected file.
A new zero-day vulnerability has been discovered in Google Chrome, marking the first time this year that a security flaw of this nature has been exploited in attacks. The vulnerability, CVE-2023-2033, is a type confusion issue in the V8 JavaScript engine, and Google has already released an emergency update to protect users.
Why it is important to update third-party applications
With the help of using updated versions, patch potential vulnerabilities fast
The operating systems installed on our computers and the vulnerabilities of the applications running on those computers could create a security vulnerability at least as serious as external threats and viruses. Software vendors gives us the ability to fix the vulnerability by publishing new versions and patches. It is very important to use up-to-date versions of applications to avoid vulnerabilities that cause from older versions of them. Easy2Patch helps you fix these vulnerabilities by analyzing current versions and new patches of the applications and distributing them in a central manner.
There is a default limit for CAB files that can be published / created within WSUS Local Publishing. This limit is 384 MB. Therefore, updates larger than 384MB cannot be published over WSUS. However, this limit value may be changed and larger updates may be released. There are several ways to change this setting.
Easy2Patch is a software that integrates with Microsoft Configuration Manager (aka. ConfigMgr or SCCM), WSUS and Intune. Apart from these, there is no software with which it is integrated. Easy2Patch team periodically checks more than 400 3rd party software every day with automatic and manual methods and reflects the updates in the catalog. Critical updates are published immediately, otherwise the catalog is published every Saturday. You can follow the catalog publications on .
